AKASH MAJUMDER - PeerSpot reviewer
Incident response times have significantly reduced with efficient device integration and log parsing capabilities
Cortex XSIAM needs improvements in terms of data onboarding, parsers, and third-party integration supports. Additionally, a future update request is to enable tagging of endpoints in groups, similar to a feature available in Cortex XDR. The AI analytics need fine-tuning because some use cases are not working from my side.
VikramSingh8 - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation simplifies workflows with no code and excellent support
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis. Tines has its own dashboard, which displays information like how many stories have been created and how many automations have taken place. However, the reporting and dashboard are not advanced; they are quite basic, with fewer customizable options. The look and feel of the dashboard could be enhanced. Another area for improvement is in terms of documentation, as every tool and company has its own knowledge base.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since implementing Cortex XSIAM, incident response times have been significantly reduced by approximately twenty percent."
"I would give Cortex XSIAM a rating of ten out of ten."
"The automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."
"The most valuable features of Cortex XSIAM are the machine learning used to identify threats, the complexity of the environment of products, and efficiency."
"One of the valued aspects of the product is its use of artificial intelligence to detect security vulnerabilities."
"Cortex XSIAM enhances our ability to apply endpoint protection policies, implement restrictions, conduct scans, and engage in sandboxing."
"The most valuable aspect is that Cortex XSIAM doesn't generate excessive alerts, refines all search results effectively, and filters out incidents where SOC intervention isn't necessary, allowing engineers to focus only on what matters."
"Its ability to deliver a substantial amount of security intelligence greatly enhances and optimizes our security operations program."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
 

Cons

"I am not sure if any improvements are needed right now."
"There is room for improvement in expanding integrations to include more cybersecurity solutions."
"Cortex XSIAM is pretty expensive, and the licensing process is not very comfortable compared to CrowdStrike."
"Cortex XSIAM needs improvements in terms of data onboarding, parsers, and third-party integration supports."
"I would rate the overall stability a six or seven, as we have only used it for a few months and need a year of experience to provide a full assessment."
"The standard integrations are very limited, and the integrations available are not listed in the marketplace."
"The first impression is that XSIAM would be more expensive than others we tried."
"Further integration capabilities with various other software products that can seamlessly tie into Cortex XSIAM would be advantageous."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since Palo Alto is trying to get as many new customers as possible, they're offering very competitive pricing."
"The product cost could be considered value for money compared to other solutions in the market, though it is quite high."
